Police Station Mossgiel 15th September 1899
Senr Const Jones respectfullyreports that Mr Cameron states he is unable of hisown knowledge to give the meaning of the Aborigines names of places. The Senr Constsaw several of the old aborigines and obtained the meaning of thirty names from them. It is hard to obtain accurate meaningsof the names from the aborigines in thisDistrict, as they are a mixed lot formerlly belongingto different Tribes, most of which the old blackstate? had different meanings for the names of places. None of the Aborigines couldgive the meaning of any of the names onthe attached paper from Mr Johnston.
